The Boss (roller coaster)

Out of the station, the track passes through the transfer track, and makes a slight left turn before making a right hand turn to climb the 122 feet (37 m) lift hill. At the top of the lift hill, the track makes a left turn and dives down a 150 feet (46 m) drop into a ravine, leveling out as it zooms through the structure of the third hill and rises into an elevated turnaround. It then dives down a 112 feet (34 m) drop back into the ravine, and rises up a third hill. At the top of the hill, the track makes a level right hand turn into the midcourse brakes. The track then takes a 103 feet (31 m) dive off the midcourse brakes, followed by a 72 feet (22 m) tall turnaround. Following this, the track makes a right turn, passes under the lift hill, and over a pair of smaller airtime hills with slight right turns, before making a 180 degree banked turnaround, leading into a bunny hop and the final brake run. This is concluded with a left hand turn to return to the station.

Prior to the 2018 season, the final turnaround was a 570 degree double helix.

The Boss opened in 2000, and is acclaimed for its "terrain twister" style, dipping up and down with the terrain beneath it.

In 2009, the coaster got spare Gerstlauer trains from Twisted Twins at Kentucky Kingdom after the coasters wing of the park was closed. It had previously received other spare trains from Mega Zeph at Six Flags New Orleans.

During the ride's winter rehab prior to the start of the 2018 season, the 570° helix was removed and replaced with a 180 degree banked turn, shortening the coaster by 420 feet (130 m). [1][2]
